We are continuing to scale up the response with our partners, and we expect more cases to be identified in the coming days and weeks.

#Uganda has today reported three new confirmed cases of #Ebola in the country, including a Ugandan health worker, a driver and a Congolese national who travelled from Ituri Province, in the neighbouring #DRC, for medical care. This brings the total number of people in Uganda who have been tested positive for Ebola Disease caused by the Bundibugyo virus to five. I acknowledge @MinofHealthUG for their efforts to detect, monitor and care for people suspected of and confirmed for contracting the Ebola virus. At this critical moment in the outbreak response, it is vital that authorities maintain high vigilance to control expansion of the virus. @WHO is working side by side with @AfricaCDC, and partners in the DRC and Uganda, to contain the outbreak, support affected people, and bolster a coordinated response. x.com/kasujja/status…
